Trouble When Closing Opera - Touch HD Themes and Apps

OK so tonight I decided that I'd upgrade my stock Opera to 9.5, as I was having some issues with the stock Opera actually connecting every time. (Why I chose to fix issues with a Beta, I don't know)
While it did resolve my issues, it seems to have given me a whole new set... Whenever I now close Opera, or even just go back to TF3D, it will rotate the screen 270 degrees, and won't want to straighten up without a bit of persuasion...
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Or how I could fix it?
Also is there any way I can source a copy of the OEM HTC version of Opera 8.6? (Or whatever ships with the HTC Touch HD)...
Many thanks from a first time poster!
Fingers crossed I don't have to hard reset!

HTC has just released a new ROM for the HD which includes an updated version of Opera.
You might want to try that.

OK great I will do that...
May be a stupid question, but as I haven't used a WM phone before I'll ask anyway... When updating ROM's, do you lose other installed programs?

yes it wil delete everything from the device so mke backups of cabs u like and try and use pimbackup to save contacts

Whats the most stable??

Hello all,
With all the awesome chef's in the kitchen it is hard to ask this question... but I will.
I would like to know what the most stable WM6 rom is, In your opinion.
I have used Black 2.0... for 2 weeks (seemed flawless)
Then I tried Tried 2.5 then LVSW, and even Custel's ROM but get random freezes, I grab the phone and its froze, missed how many calls?? I can't have this.
Something I might be doing you say, possible but I have even installed no additional apps, and only sync to exchange. I see others having some various issues with differnet roms. So this prompted me to ask the question I have.
So whats the most stable ROM?
i use black 2.5 with his new memory.cab and works great no problems. what programs are you using b/c it may be related to them. maybe use sktools to delete some unneccesary programs from starting on boot and go from there.
Black 1.2 with a weeks+ of working it to perfection. No need to flash anything else for me until WM7 comes out. lol
Coming back to a froze device sounds like you have the sd card lockups, and not rom related, but if you dont have a card installed, dismiss my post.
I was using Black 2.5, I have a lot of freezes in particular when I activeSync and I do activeSync A LOT, (freeze about every 3rd time I activeSync). A few miss call, and call which I have no audio.
I switch to LVSW 4/23 (FULL version), currently with the same applications installed on Black 2.5, my phone seems to be running well, no freezes yet for half a day already. (ActiveSync more than 10 times already)
I am not saying there is any problem with Black 2.5 rom. A lot of people are very happy with Black 2.5. What I am simply saying is that with the set of applications that I need (a few of them are beta apps), LVSW seems more compatibility than Black.
P.S. Using PhoneAlarm, PocketInformat, CEStar, ISilo, Cyberon Voic Speed Dial, and SplashID
I've had no freezing issues, only app I install is im+
I am running Black 2.5 and I too am having similar ActiveSync problems. And it freezes every third time as well. Strange....

Previously I was using Black 2.0 and never had one freeze. But since I upgraded to 2.5 I get random freezes like couple times a day, I suspect this could be due to the new OS build? Once I have time I would probably reflash it back to 2.0 cuz it's rock stable for me.
Black 2.5 is working sweet as for me.
Couple of freezes with LVSW and XDA Live, but nothing major, i had freezes with the OEM rom, its just what phones and computers seem to do these days!!
I;ll stay Black, but at the end of the day, use the rom, which you think you will get the best community support, has the best community friendliness and if you ever do have troubles, you shouldnt be troubles trying to fix them!
keep in mind that these ROMs are essentially beta (even if based upon the "final" WM6). they do not undergo the rigorous testing that a carrier would provide.
if you are unwilling to deal with this (and RTFW for answers), then you might be better sticking with the factory shipping WM5 roms...
I like Custel's rom, support is there, and rom is quick n smooth
LVSW 4/23
The full version of LVSW 4/23 is the most stable so far for me. This is the first of the WM6 ROMS I can open and run Netfront, Newsbreak, Pocket IE, Messaging, Camera, Resco Explorer, get a phone call at the same time and still have no freezing. I did a little tweaking to it, but out of the gate it is just fine. All I really needed to install in the Keyboard fix and the Cingular settings.
noop, the reason you freeze alot or crashes alot is becoz of CE-Star..all i know is LVSW does not have the problem, but all other rom does...
Don't use the one from WM5, i remember there is a lite version on this fourm (topic x01ht showing chinese or sth)
Why i know, coz i just install ce-star on black, it will never work..it will crash almost anything...The guy who made the lite has a re-edit version of Ce-star for crossbow, that you have to try your own..since all i need is viewing~
They are all good!

We are all one big happy community here at XDA Developers!
For me with the earlier round of ROMS LVSW 4/23 worked the best. Zero problems. Haven't finished trying out the latest batch yet so I can't say. The bottom line is that with these ROMS you really do have to try them all and make your decision on which one best meets your needs when coupled with the software that you use.
All of these cooks are turning out some nice ROMs, the problems are more frequently caused by programs that are not yet certified for WM6 and the cooks, of course, have no control over this.
I would also suggest not to use any program to clean your OS, e.g. memory maid as it seems become unstable for all rom after cleaning the system with this kind of software.
Hi all,
Thanks for all your responses. I agree support from this forum family is awesome. I also agree with trying several roms to find the one that best fits my needs (but I don't yet know what they are, I just moved from a treo 650, and prior was a treo 600)
I am on LVSW now, I will try it for a bit and see how it goes. I do like Custels as well... Hmmm decisions, decisions. lol
Well thanks again for your responses and thant you Chefs for all your diligent work. You're the Kings in my book.
Comparison Page???
Would it be posible for the creators of the roms to tell us ALL of the bells and whistles that each of them has on it, and someone could compile a chart or page to compare them all? Obviously, the Voice Dial function is important to me, and I dig the Space Invaders, but there is so much more. I would be glad to do it if I could get the info on each with which to begin. As for Stability; is there a way to do a survey that would allow us to rate them according to the opinion of the users here regarding speed of boot/reset and stability and whatever anyone else can think of?
I recently moved to the Dutty Premier Windows Mobile 6 - Full Edition - Version 1 and So far I am very happy with it. And it appears to have all the tools and toys I want and need . . . so far.
Thanks,
If one doesn't already exist, someone please set up a wiki page for comparisons and we'll sticky it.

Custel Cingular 1.2
The only WM6 ROM I have upgraded to is Custel's Cingular 1.2. It was a problem free upgrade and I have not experienced a single freeze and the only soft resets I have done were those required to install other applications. Unless someone, including HTC or Cingular, comes out with a version that adds features that I can't live without (and are not added to these cooked ROM's on this forum as CABs), I will be happy to stay with my current version.

Although my Artemis shows 60 % free program memory, this ROM is still painfully slow.
i've download now n will try...
Thanks for the rom!
Like user above, runs very slow on the main menu but once in file explorer etc it's just as fast.
Time to upgrade the phone??
3rd wm 6.5 rom p3300
I have tried all 3 version of this ROM,
nice look but very very slow on my artemis.
today TITANIUM good, Honeyconbs slooooow other apll quite fast,
IGO8 breeze, tt7 slow.
I hope that some1 can make this fast than today.
it was lag & makes my phone hang... this ROM requires more RAM...
anyway thanks uploader... something new...
tested it for 20 minutes.
TOO SLOW on Artemis.
downloaded and tested for a day or so now
the titanium is better than in previous versions, seems to run smoothly and integrates well at last...good to see the clock finally making a propper appearance in there
also the first chance to play with the new honeycomb interface.
unfortunately the jury is still out on this one.
my view is that it's more of a hinderance than anything else at the moment.
This totally replaces the start menu. Click on the start button and you're taken straight into the honeycomb interface. I wasn't expecting this behaviour from it...i thought it would be more of a today plugin replacement or something, and if it's going to behave like this on new roms it needs to be
a)quick
and
b) easy for you to find your programs or settings that you want.
Personally i dont think it does this yet.
You can click and hold to bring any app into the "favourites" part of the comb, which means you can now "pin" your favourite apps...mcuh like your last used apps used to automatically appear at the top of the start menu.
Unfortunately i think finding anything more than you favourite 5 or 10 progs would quickly become a real pain in the ass.
let me give a quick random example
on a "classic" style rom, let say you want to go to the "SMS SETTINGS" app....you'll go to start , settings, hit the communications tab at the bootom and choose SMS SETTINGS
on this i'll go to start, straight into the honeycomb. From experience i know that it's not in here (which is good becuase this is now a looong page to look in) so i choose the SETTINGS cell. now all i can see is 7 cells and remember there are no tabs here anymore so this is ALL of your settings. I've got About, backlight, bluetooth, buttons , certification, and clocks and alarms. Anything else i have to start randomly scrolling and searching so i start moving downwards. Eventually find it on the 12th cell on the left That's 12 'Down clicks'. If i wanted WLAN SETTINGS or something i would have to do a lot more scrolling. Everything is alphabetically sorted which helps, but it's a 3 colum system and so you still need to read ALL of the available options and you need to know EXACTLY what that app is called (is it TOMTOM or NAVIGATION? Is it under T or N ? etc...you get the gist)
I hope they are still experimenting with this interface becuase i think it looks good and COULD, if done right, be a really nice feature for the WM6.5 system...but it still needs some fundamental work before it works well. Remember how, from the concept art, we through it would be a 2d scrolling 'intellingent' list...it's not. It's stricly up and down alphabetical.
I can't quite put my finger on what it IS that's wrong with it...but there is SOMETHING...it just takes too lonk to find what you need at the moment. Maybe it's just unfamiliarity and it'll all become clear after a few days use, after all i've had 5 years of experience with the old system...the same as lots of people switch vista and XP's interface into win2k mode becuase they know where everything is. I always plead with those gus to stick with it and learn the newer systems becuase they usually DO make sense....but this time i cant see it yet
The new lock mechanism also needs some work. they've obviously tried to emulate a slide-to-unlock mechanism without making it TOO similar to the iphone....unfortunately this means that you get the small blue slider we've all seen on the screenshots at the top-center of the screen and sliding it 1cm or 2 to either the left or right unnlocks. I personally think this gives too much scope for accidental unlocking. I mentioned in another thread a while back about how a "shake to unlock" feature would be self defeating. the point of a lock is to make sure that when the phone wakes up becuase of incomming texts or whatever the phone doesnt totally wake up and end up accidentally resetting all of your calendar appointements or calling people while it's in your pocket....you need it to be HARD to unlock accidentally, but not hard to unlock intentionally. The balance is not quite right here either, same as the honeycomb.
it's still in beta and hopefully the whole thing just needs those last few "tweaks" to the functionality and ergonomics before it too "makes sense" but right now i'm more than willing to switch back to dhee's last manilla rom....it's just easier to use. I hope i'm right and that this rom is in BETA for both reliabiliy AND functionality reasons.
theres a lot of potential, but it isn't there yet.
these comments are ALL down to the mew 6.5 system, NOT dhee's rom, which seems to have done everything it can with what it's been given. Considering the clumsyness of the new interface etc this is as good as i could hope for a 6.5 beta rom to be, and i will install his next rom without ANY hesitation.
for anyone wanting to try the new features out, this is the rom to go for, but i wouldn't blame anyone for not keeping it for too long
thanks again dhee for a great rom, i just hope you get an improved system to pass on to us next. I'll probably leave this one for another day or so to see if it grows on me, jstu like i gave XP and vista's new interfaces a chance.
he's now updated it with an M2D version, link : http://pirun.ku.ac.th/~fscinrn/Download/Pawaj_65_M2D.7z
will flash and let you know, i'm not convinced there's enough room on this rom for M2D too but who knows, he usually pulls it off well
NOTE the download is ONLY an NBH file
rom 6.5 M2D NEW
I have flashed 3 times my artemis with this ROM but always, after reboot wake up one error and auto reboot, so, for me is not working
I hope that someone can fix it.

Same result ... And i flash once - device reboot, show me white screen, show error message and reboot again. Back to YuE WM 6.1 firmware. Waiting for stable release.
yeah, the M2D version didnt work for me....reverted back to his earlier 6.5 Beta 2 version with M2D becuase i dont think the honeycomb and titanium is quite ready yet
very very slow.. also the menu is not very much clear

This one is not from dheewatara, and was one of the first roms to include WM6.5.
So far DJ M2D WM6.5 5.0 UL is the quickest and smoothest.
i found DJ M2D WM6.5 5.0 UL to be the same speed as the 2nd rom with M2D from dheewatara, but dheewatara's rom has the newer camera version (with panorama mode) and a slightly newer rom version if i remember correctly. I'm sticking with that one for now
we beg pardon for my terrible English :-[ , I wanted hear there is version room without additional programs ( light ) plz give reference
Hi ppl,
All the links give error .... not found....
Can someone give me a positive link?
Hi any re-uploaded links?
Thanks

No more Flick Scrolling.. Highlights

After I upgrade to the new 6.5 Rom with T-mobile.. I found something odd. Certain programs I was able to move the pages up and down by flick scroll the screen. But now every time I tried to do that, it highlights the text instead.. The only way i can move the page is use the scroll bar on the right. Any body know how to change the setting or registry for this? Thanks
If your original rom was 6.1, you were using HTC's touchflo scrolling, but with 6.5 you're using Microsoft's built in flick scrolling. Ironically, the Microsoft scrolling seems to have problems with some .NET programs (you'd think those would work the best since it's MS). I don't know of any fix other than switching back to the HTC touchflo but that's not as fluid so I just put up with the few apps that don't work with the MS version.
Yeah my original rom was official T-mobile 6.1 . I just upgrade to 6.5 rom with this problem.. It is kind of silly Microsoft scrolling was worse than touch flo one.. I guess I will just ignore this since there is no fix for it . Thank you.

Hi All
Actually there is, but it is a bit of a PITA.
Go here:
http://www.ftouchsl.com/
This proggy enables scrolling in virtually anything. I had an issue with a simple 'Note' file, you would think that it would scroll natively, but no.
I use this proggy to enable it. One caveat, it dicks with other apps that are OK, so you need to exclude those from the prog as exceptions - this is a drag, but once you have a list, you can export it and re-import it if you need to hard reset.
It isn't perfect, but i have looked for a simpler solution with no luck. Silly thing is, that Word will scroll, but bloody Notes will not - stupid.
Anyway, i hope that helps you...
Cheers

sprint htc snap

hello, i now i'm not a genius but i can take direction or instrucctions..i tried to download your jzsmartmort application but i guess my phone couldn't support it or it was me who didn't know how to installed it..anyways i did have problems with the original ie icon it said that an error or could not run the mortscript ..but i finally uninstalled the program..ok, the thing is that i defenetly would like to see if you mr jzsmartmort can provide me with a program other than my original ie on the phone that i can use..i already have syfire but is too slow..i tried opera mini but it doesn't let me installe the program..like i said i'm not an expert but i can defenetly follow instrucctions on how to download applications or other programs that could make my phone a better phone or a phone that has a lot of programs i can use..thanks a lot and in hopes to receive a good response..
well....
well, i use multiple browsers for different reasons. i rarely use IE, skyfire is good for full sites and flash and, I use opera mini for most of my searches and overall browsing. im tinkering with a few others. They just came out with a smartphone friendly version of the full opera browser v10 beta 3. Id try that but it is kind of slow as well. In regards to opera mini, you do have java installed on your phone right?
btw, smartmort doesnt install more browsers. cool stuff though once you figure it out lol
Greetings!
My question is: how to disable Update Profile tool on Sprint Firmware , so it would be not
to run automatically once a day?
Help me please. Thanks!

[ROM] 2-18-10 Egzthunder1's 25005 (MetroPCS) - Clean Version

Thank you all for being patient. I don't have as much time to cook as before but due to a bunch of requests (particularly due to different tastes for boot splash images), I decided to cook a new rom altogether rather than fixing the old one. This one has more features too! So, if anything, you are all getting something better (and so am I )
*Increased pagepool size to 18 MB!
*New Build 25005 (no clue about which COM branch it belongs to, so please don't ask )
*Added Bing
*Added Mega Dialer (scroll bar is still an issue, but it doesn't look that bad)
*MSN Widgets are Back
*Removed Opera since there is a newer version out there (with Flash support!). I haven't gotten the cab, so I will let you all install it and let me know
*Internet Sharing Added
*FaceBook Mobile is Back!
*Showcase Task Manager
*Added QuickGPS (for faster lockons... or so I hear)
*Dialer Lag is gone!!!
*The only extra that I don't like (and I did not put in) was haptic feedback when touching the start menu. If anyone knows how to get rid of this... please.
Here is the Link
Installation Notes:
Drop the XDA_UC folder located in the rar file onto the root of your SD card. Flash and soft reset. The UC process will start upon second boot. You can add/remove any cabs that you want to (or not want) so that the system will install them automatically.
CDMA Weather Fix:
Select the weather in your city in the Manila tab prior to installing this fix. Once it is selected, install and soft reset.
LINK to Weather Fix
Please enjoy and if you like it and feel like buying me coffee... by all means
Bugs
*Graphics on the radio buttons and scroll bars look weird. I think that the zoom on them is screwed up. Looking for a solution...
*Strange behavior of the bottom bar. Touching either left-most or right-most corners will make the device vibrate. Touching the center will make it make a sound. I have absolutely no clue why this is happening. I have never come across this on any rom... suggestions are welcome. [highlight]FIXED! See Next Post on How to do it[/highlight]
*I accidentally forgot to cook in the MMS composer, but you can get it from a lot of different threads in this site. You will need to obtain a cab and install it (sorry about this).
Everything else is working so far
Misc and Fixes
*Vibrating Bottom Bar: This is due to Showcase Task Manager, which I had no idea it had this "annoying" feature on it. To disable, open Regedit (cooked in the rom) and look for the following entries
HKCU\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase
Look for the following 2 keys and change the values to 0
SuiteVibrate_Tap
SuiteVibrate_Hold
One more for the road
egz, which opera has flash support. I didn't think any of the opera browsers supported flash yet.

I read somewhere in the Dev ad Hacking that a new version of Opera had emerged with flash support... I will see if I can find it.
BTW,
I am about to release a new rom (I am currently uploading). I think I have tackled all the small issues present in this one. I'm sure all of you will be happy with it
Opera Mobile 10 u3 has the flash support. Its off by default, you just need to enable it in settings.
BTW, there have been ways to get flash working on opera for pretty much every 9.X version as well, it just required some fiddling (and ran like crap, buts thats besides the point, it did work).

Yes, I am aware of that. Ever since the cabs for Flash lite 3 surfaced about a year and a half ago. And I do agree too... it was very much crappy
